None, until you've confirmed that the first time you pull away the engine, front subframe and bulkhead isn't going to rip away from the rest of the car and bugger off down the road on it's own, leaving you sat in the remains of the car looking out into fresh air.

Pfft, small details 😂

clear your history fuck sake

One of the major benefits is that in slippery conditions they are more stable in a straight line.  In ice and snow, a FWD car is somewhat more controllable than a RWD one.  That is, for the average (IE utterly incompetent) driver.  Yes, I prefer a RWD car in the snow, mainly for the LOLs, but FWD is proven safer.
Also for interior space.  A RWD car loses a surprising amount of interior space compared to the equivalent FWD arrangement.

An unpopular opinion:  Drivers should be re-tested on a regular basis, and to a far higher standard than they are currently.  This is actually more important than checking the car on an annual basis.
However, this will never happen as the Government makes far too much money from fuel duty and other vehicle taxation, so removing dangerous/idiotic/incompetent/blind/drunk/thick-as-shit drivers from the road will cost them too much money.
I would happily sit a driving test on a regular basis.

No it hasn't.  People have gone back and deleted long standing threads, or deleted all their posts in a thread, making bits of it unreadable.  We had a fairly significant thought process on ensuring that all photos remain visible on old threads as otherwise they become unreadable, the same should (IMO) be true of comments and posts.  When you remove parts of the conversation, it makes no sense.
Yes, posts need to be able to be edited for spelling and other errors for a while, but once it's been up for a bit, IMO it should stay.  It's "published" at that point.

It’s not ‘your’ thread though is it? Even if you started it, you only have ownership of your own contribution, not other people’s replies.

116 pages (and counting) of the little furry bastards*
(I owned two until quite recently.  Just one now)

I shall echo all of the above comments, as they are very much in line with my experience.
The comment that I did not have the same experience needs expanding on:
I simply did not appreciate that the procedure here was to pay for a Gaydon ticket, and then you had to book something extra on a completely unrelated platform.  I did not watch any youtube videos about this process, as I do not subscribe to any of the youtube-based organisers of this event.  I've very little interest in youtube subscriptions tbh.  Equally, I don't do Facebook for very much more than local marketplace, hence did not read anything on there about the booking process.  As far as I was concerned I'd paid my money for a ticket, and that was that.  I'm there for the show, not the Anti-Social Media experience.
The blokey checking tickets on the way in (after absolutely no queue, which is bloody excellent!) was remarkably non-understanding of this, as when pressed for "where are you parking?", my reply was "I've no idea, that's up to you isn't it??".  After a somewhat drawn out back-and-forth, I got a remarkably rude "well, I'll let you in, but next time, fucking sort yourself out will you"
Quite frankly I'd have happily run him over after a comment like that.
As it happens, I had every intention of needing to pay for my additional passenger, but I never did in the end.  Even the blokey on the museum desk didn't want to take my cash.  So I spent it on other things at the event.
Excellent event.  Much more laid-back and pleasant compared to FOTU.  Youtube stage with amplified people was easily avoided and I met a lot of friends I haven't seen in a very long time.  It was quite remarkable spotting how many (mainly Citroen BXs) cars had been on my driveway some 15-20 years ago.
Only other comment was my not really understanding why some sub-5-year-old cars were in the display areas.  I'm glad there's no strict age limits, but a BrandNewCar is rather pointless being "displayed" in a slot where something MuchMoreInteresting could be.
But I will definitely be back.  Especially if the booking method is simplified.

If you've never set fire to a car while welding, you're just not getting enough heat into the weld.  Try cleaning the metal back further and stepping up to the next power level.  Maybe a bit more wire feed speed too.
.. and I totally did not* set fire to the Merc C250td on the driveway a couple of days ago.  Nope.  Not me.  Never.
Briefly.
